Peter's Pocket Grandpa was a fictional character in a comic strip in the UK comic The Dandy. It first appeared in issue 1771, dated 1 November 1975, and was drawn by Ron Spencer for the majority of its run, with a few later strips being drawn by John Geering. The strip told the rather whimsical and sad story of a schoolboy named Peter Parker, who lived with his parents and grandfather in perfectly ordinary circumstances until a visit to a fairground left a gypsy angry after an argument with Grandpa. The gypsy promptly put a curse on Grandpa which left him just six inches tall.
